Abstract
El Museo Arqueológico de Lorca atesora una colección de monedas romanas que incluye varios denarios acuñados entre el 49 y el 44 antes de Cristo, años decisivos en los que Julio César ascendió definitivamente al poder tras la conquista de la Galia y su victoria en la guerra civil. Las monedas acuñadas por César y sus seguidores contienen imágenes que nos hablan del contexto bélico del momento, así como de las ambiciones políticas de César. Su nombramiento como dictador perpetuo y la inclusión de su retrato en vida en monedas, al estilo de un monarca helenístico, terminaron por costarle la vida en las idus de marzo del año 44 a. de C. ---------
The Archaeological Museum of Lorca houses a collection of Roman coins, including several denarii minted between 49 and 44 BC. This period marks the rise of Julius Caesar to power after the conquest of Gaul and his ultimate victory in the second civil war. The coins minted by Caesar and his followers bear images related to contemporary conflicts and the general’s political ambitions. His appointment as perpetual dictator by the Senate in 44 BC, along with the inclusion of his portrait on minted coins, emulating the style of Hellenistic monarchs, were some of the reasons for his assassination on the Ides of March of that year.
